Liver Cirrhosis in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Would Oral Anticoagulation Have a Net Clinical Benefit for Stroke Prevention?
BACKGROUND Patients with liver cirrhosis have been excluded from randomized clinical trials of oral anticoagulation therapy for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation. We hypothesized that patients with liver cirrhosis would have a positive net clinical benefit for oral anticoagulation when used for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation. METHODS AND RESULTS This study used the National H...
متن کاملNet Clinical Benefit of Warfarin in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Background—Known risk factors for bleeding during anticoagulant treatment are largely the same as those predicting thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Our objective was to investigate how to maximize the likelihood of avoiding both stroke and bleeding. Methods and Results—All 182 678 subjects with atrial fibrillation in the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register were s...
متن کاملTrends in Oral Anticoagulation Therapy Among Korean Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: The KORean Atrial Fibrillation Investigation
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) such as warfarin provides effective stroke prophylaxis in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We conducted a large multicenter survey of Korean patients with AF to determine trends in VKA use. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Eligible patients were adults with AF that had been prescribed VKAs. Medical records from a total of ...
متن کاملCardioversion Of Atrial Fibrillation And Oral Anticoagulation.
The risk of thromboembolic events is a major concern in cardioversion of atrial fibrillation. The vast majority of these events occur in the first week following cardioversion. Processes promoting thrombus formation occur early and thrombus may appear in the left atrium within 48 hours of atrial fibrillation. The risk of thromboembolic events also increases with the presence of stroke risk fact...
متن کاملPrevalence of oral anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation
OBJECTIVES Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained arrhythmia and is associated with poor outcomes, including stroke. The ability of anticoagulation therapy to reduce the risk of stroke has been well established; however, the prevalence of anticoagulation therapy use in the Public Health System is unknown. The aim of this study is to evaluate both the prevalence of anticoagulation ther...
